This one was fun!
Firstly the shortcake was easily buzzed about with the beaters with only a few ingredients, so simple, and they turned out perfectly (and made the house smell delightful!).
I prepared the apples slightly differently from the recipe. I was a little hesitant about how they would turn out, as I normally do things by the book! But I cooked them just the right amount and they were tender and sweet, perfect for filling a shortcake.
The whipped cream was great. I love beating cream until it gets a little life of its own and becomes so light, fluffy and a wonderful accompaniment to any sweet thing. This recipe required it to be spread on top of the shortcake, and it spread beautifully across the top and looked so pretty.
The end result: all flavours mixed to become a lovely afternoon tea treat to share with my friend Aimee (and little Ethan) on Thursday and then with my parents and husband on Friday.
I loved sharing this cake with people who are dear to me and it is on my list to make again in the future.
